Ancelotti: Ronaldo's Juve move good for all of Serie A

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Juventus is a positive for all Italian football not just the Bianconeri, says his former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Juve announced a €100million (£88m/$117m) deal to bring the Portugal superstar from Madrid on Tuesday in a major coup for the club and Serie A.

Ancelotti knows first hand what Ronaldo brings to the table having been in charge for Madrid's 2013-14 Champions League success – the first of four for Los Blancos in a five-season period.

The Italian will have to call on his knowledge to stop Ronaldo next season as he begins the latest chapter in his storied coaching career with Napoli, but Ancelotti warned that there are more threats than just Juve, who he coached between 1999 and 2001, next term.
